Non-human primates harbour diverse microbiomes in their guts. As a part of the China Microbiome Initiatives, we cultivated and characterized the gut microbiome of cynomolgus monkeys (). In this report, we communicate the characterization and taxonomy of eight bacterial strains that were obtained from faecal samples of captive cynomolgus monkeys. The results revealed that they represented eight novel bacterial species. The proposed names of the eight novel species are (type strain MSJ-5=CGMCC 1.45007=KCTC 15974), MSJd-7 (MSJd-7=CGMCC 1.45013=KCTC 25112), (MSJ-11=CGMCC 1.45009=KCTC 25065), (MSJ-4=CGMCC 1.45006=KCTC 15975), (MSJ-2=CGMCC 1.32896=KCTC 15976), MSJ-6 (MSJ-6=CGMCC 1.45008=KCTC 15973), (MSJ-1=CGMCC 1.31770=KCTC 15977) and (MSJ-40=CGMCC 1.45012=KCTC 25071).
